Post-HeartAttackRehabilitation

Heart attack patients can take an extra step to significantly reduce their risk of a non-fatal recurrence by engaging in an intensive, long-term prevention program.

After participating in a standard period of post-heart attack rehabilitation, patients who enrolled in a multi-faceted education and behavioral intervention program we found to significantly reduce their individual incidence of heart events. The program included sessions that helped patients with lifestyle factors such as exercise, diet, and weight control. The importance of this study rests with the fact that heart attack patients can help themselves by adopting healthy lifestyle changes that give their bodies the best chance of surviving. A physical therapist can help these patients pave their way to adopting a healthier lifestyle.

Clearly, a good physical therapist is vital in post-heart attack rehabilitation. In fact, good physical therapist is central to recovery from many accidents, injuries, or illnesses.
